Anatomical context of h4-A

 

Associations of h4-A with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of h4-A

  • We found the conserved N termini (the N-terminal tails) of histone H4 essential to stimulate ISWI ATPase activity, in contrast to other histone tails [15].
  • The Y-box protein FRGY2 inhibits translation of histone H4 mRNA in vitro [6].
 

Other interactions of h4-A

  • We have shown that these proteins are indeed nuclear basic proteins: the 14 kd is the histone H4, the 19 kd is the histone H3, and the 25 kd is the sperm-specific protein SP2 [16].
  • Critical role for the histone H4 N terminus in nucleosome remodeling by ISWI [15].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of h4-A

  • They were located by in situ hybridization of a 3H-labelled histone H4 anti-sense cRNA probe applied to lampbrush preparations in which transcript RNA had been retained, and likewise to preparations in which transcripts were absent but whose DNA had been denatured prior to hybridization [17].
  • The amount of histone H4 mRNA per embryo was followed during early development of Xenopus laevis by Northern blot analyses using a cloned histone H4 cDNA as the probe [12].
